Gaaaah i just want a mouse!

My mouse, logitech mx310 which has fought on gamely for a long time, is crapping out.
Went toddling off to find a new one, couldn't find the same one so i looked at the G5, the Razer copperhead, and another logitech one i can't remember.

Problem, no one wants to ship to ireland. Tried play, amazon and dell along a with a slew of spurious looking irish retail sites. Any time i went to buy a mouse i wanted it tells me it won't ship outside the uk.
Help me get a decent mouse delivered to ireland, anyone know a decent site/contact?

Komplett.ie is quite good.

Got my MX518 from there. Its a great little mouse and not too expensive compared to some (though my judgement might be a bit useless considering that my mouse before that was a crappy ball mouse)

play.com ship to Ireland as far as the help says. They are based in Jersey so everything is technically export for them.

They do indeed ship to ireland, i get dvds/games/anime there every so often. Some of the stuff listed on play is actually provided and shipped by a third party, seems like the logitech stuff falls into that catagory.
Anyway, good old komplett sorted me out, ordered a G5, which could be interesting. I've heard good and bad things, and i'm notoriously picky about my rodents.

Don't get me wrong, but why don't you just go to your favourite computer hardware store?

A very good question Daath.
My local hardware store is in the city centre, i live in the suburbs. It's about an hour walking and bus, not too bad a journey.
The thing is i went in on thursday to buy a new controller for my PC, and accidently bought a PS2 controller because i get very distracted when i am in game stores.
That meant i had to go back in Friday to buy a proper PC controller. I got one, got home, unpacked it and realised it was the exact same model as my old one i had been having problems with. It just had different colours. It didn't work right.

If i went back in on saturday to buy a new mouse no doubt i would come back with a wireless modem, or a flashlight, or a bag of oranges. I can barely live with the shame as it is :)
Best to sit quietly here until someone brings the correct product to me.
